> Friends,
> What is discriminative membership? Well, this could go from denial of membership on the basis of religious or ethnic reasons in the TOS,(de jure), to a more complex denial system that does not use that direct exclusion, but has the same result,(de facto). In other words, if discriminative membership happens by the nature of the structure of the rules, then that is de facto, and if the rules just state that Jews can not be members, that is de jure.It is indeed important to keep a vigilant watch in order to prevent such discrimination from occurring. I am glad that there are people who are passionately dedicated to doing so.
It seems that Jews are allowed membership in Psycho-Babble - de facto.
To my untrained eye, I don't see any discrimination in the way Jews are treated on Psycho-Babble.
